"Driving Wheel" (1971)
by Canadian folk singer-songwriter David Wiffen (3/11/1942 - 4/5/2026)
Today's #SundaySong is "I Know!" by Swapmeet. The sound reminds me of the best 90s alt rock and 200s garage rock, but the video is all contemporary sincerity, playing dress-up in thrift store suits. Bands back then would've tried harder to look polished and cool. The lyrics are about overthinking.
"Sunday morning, rain is falling. Steal some covers, share some skin (I like that). Clouds are shrouding us in moments unforgettable. You twist to fit the mold that I am in." -- Sunday Morning / Maroon 5 #SundaySong www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2Ct...

"Easter Parade" (2026) by U2,
from "Easter Lily", its second surprise EP this year
Happy #Easter, and a belated Happy Passover, to all those who celebrate!
Today's #SundaySong is "Death, Thrice Drawn" by the Scary Jokes. Chiptune instrumentals that would be at home in a16-bit video game pair with the singer's sweet voice and thesarus-heavy lyrics to tell the story of her longing for someone who can't love her back, because they don't love themselves.
"I don't know how to love him, what to do, how to move him. I've been changed, yes, really changed. In these past few days when I've seen myself, I seem like someone else" -- I Donโt Know How to Love Him / Jesus Christ Superstar #Easter #SundaySong โ๏ธโฎ๏ธ www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFsn...
